Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Cannon Films' most expensive production ever. Golan-Globus thought they were buying a Star Wars. They got naked space vampires eating London.
The film's entire marketing campaign was just Mathilda May naked on the poster. It worked. The movie bombed anyway.
